Tracy lifted her hands in surrender before walking into the office.
After she left, Rhoda stared at Alaine. “Why are you angry at her when she said the correct thing?”
“He is still her father; she should respect him,” Alaine said, causing Rhoda to sigh.
“We both know that you are
The chauffeur panicked, hurriedly lowered his head, and said, “I am sorry, madam.”“Baby, get in,” Alaine told Tracy, who nodded and got in the car.“Is there anything else you need?” Alaine asked Tracy after getting in and locking the door.“I think we bought everything. When will the studio be ready?” Tracy asked when she recalled the request she had made in the morning.“In a week. I plan to send you to the same school Eve studies. What do you think?” Alaine asked as she was afraid that Tracy didn’t want to go to the same school as Eve. If she made the decisions without consulting the girl, who knows how she might react?Hearing her mother’s question, Tracy’s lips curled up. “It’s okay. The school is definitely huge. Who knows whether we will come across it or not? Also, I am there to study, not to mind her.”Alaine let out a sigh of relief, a small smile appearing on her face as she thought that her daughter was really understanding.“Okay.”After that, they didn’t speak to each o
She took a deep breath as she tried to calm herself. She turned to Tracy and said, “You shouldn’t speak such words concerning your father.”Tracy lifted her hands in surrender before walking into the office.After she left, Rhoda stared at Alaine. “Why are you angry at her when she said the correct thing?”“He is still her father; she should respect him,” Alaine said, causing Rhoda to sigh.“We both know that you are just saying that, but inwardly, you are trying to convince yourself that what we said isn’t true, right?” Rhoda's words caused Alaine to avert her gaze.“Even if you look somewhere else, it won’t change the fact that I am saying the truth. Alaine, what kind of life were you living before that man got into your life? Before he realized that, though he was married into the family, he couldn’t get total access to the company.It seemed that you had forgot
“I am so hungry,” Tracy said, pouting. She didn’t place the boxes back; with them in her hand, she walked over to the sofa, placed them on the table, and then started unwrapping them.Alaine looked at her with a disappointed and hurt gaze. Seeing this, Rhoda said, “Let her first eat. We are full, but she isn’t. You can take as many photos as you want later on.”Alaine turned to her, then nodded. However, she still took out her phone from her handbag, switched it on, unlocked it, and then started taking photos of Tracy.By this time, Tracy had already opened all the boxes, and the dishes lay on the table. She saw that there was a dessert and drinks she didn’t ask for.She turned and looked at her mother in confusion, no words spoken, just stared at her. However, her sudden gaze startled Alaine and accidentally took that photo.“What is it, baby?” she asked, an embarrassed look on her face, seeing that her sneaky moves had been caught.Though she knew what the woman had been doing, Trac
Tracy didn’t say anything; she just looked around, the smell of food enticing her. “Can’t I eat first?” Her eyes never left the boxes with the hotel label.Rhoda stared at her for a while, then chuckled. “Sure, babygirl. There isn’t much left after all.”Her words attracted Tracy’s gaze. Initially, she had thought that she was done, but then she heard Rhoda’s words about going to the next level. Now, she stumbled across an option, and she was really curious.“What is the next step about?” she asked.“Nothing much. Just applying the skincare products on your body, the toner, moisturizer, and all…” Rhoda said as she leaned back to her seat when she saw the emotions on Tracy’s face. She thought that they were really intriguing.“Just that? Then I dress up and come to eat?” Tracy asked, and Rhoda hummed.“Then let’s get to it. Ten more minutes won’t make any difference. Also, I can’t stay in your office in a robe, can I?” Tracy asked, and Rhoda chuckled.“Dear, no one comes here. The rece
“Tracy, wake up,” Rhoda said in a soft tone as she shook the young lady gently.After a couple of struggles, Tracy turned slowly. She opened her eyes, though they looked at Rhoda in a dazed and sleepy look. She looked at Rhoda, wondering where she was and who the woman in front of her was.“Come, you need to go to the mist room to clean off the dirt and mask,” Rhoda said with a smile on her face as she thought that the girl looked cute.However, when she saw the green mask on Tracy’s face, she wondered how cute Tracy would look after waking up with her face clean.Her words brought Tracy back to reality, and she remembered where she was.She slowly sat up before getting off the massage bed.“That is the mist room,” Rhoda said as she pointed at a door on her left. “When you walk in there, get into the pool, soak there for thirty minutes before coming out.”She stared at Tracy for a while and said, “Don’t worry, immediately you get in that pool, the timer in that room will start a count
Rhoda woke Tracy up once in between. She had initially thought that the young lady won’t go to sleep after that, but she immediately did after turning around.After she finished applying the body mask, Rhoda didn’t wake her up; she let her continue sleeping as the mask dried up.“Hahahaha,” a young girl was laughing loudly as she sat on the sofa of their living room.“Why are you laughing like an idiot?” the man opposite her asked her with a frown.“I am not an idiot, it’s just funny,” Lilian said with a smile still on her face.At one glance, her brother knew she was just trying not to keep laughing in front of him.“Tell me about it,” Julian asked as he leaned back on the seat, waiting for the young lady to tell him about it.Since it was a weekend, he had just arrived in the city to see his baby sister, who lived far from the others. He always did this, afraid of her being bored and starting to hate the family for sending her so far away. Weekends were for the siblings to spend time
The driver frowned as he stared at the latter, who seemed frozen in the middle of the road, displeasure filling him as each second passed; his patience was running out.“Brother, it seemed the little girl is frightened; you really can’t blame her,” the girl in the passenger seat said with a chuckle
“Dad, how can Mom do that to me? Just because I am not her biological daughter? I thought that having brought me up, she has affection for me and loves me,” Eve said as she cried in her father’s arms.Mr Grant sighed helplessly. “You know that I can’t contradict her. Just bear with it at the moment
Everyone was startled and turned to her.“Wife, what’s wrong?” Mr Grant asked with a frown.Alaine didn’t glance at him. Her attention was on Tracy’s hand. Ignoring the stares, she walked towards her daughter. The room was filled with silence; only her soft steps could be heard.Eve looked at her m
“Miss, we have arrived.”Tracy heard someone saying, and she opened her eyes slowly. When she saw that she was in a car, she was stunned.‘What is happening?’ Tracy wondered as her eyes started roaming around.She met the driver’s gaze through the rear-view mirror, stunning her.“Uncle Stephen?” sh
